[quote="fyi"]Mayor's Update - October 12, 2021

Dear Cranbury Residents,

I hope your fall is going well. We are pleased that COVID-19 cases are down in New Jersey and we can look forward to the leaves changing and HALLOWEEN!  Because Halloween falls on a Sunday this year, Chief Owens was able to get Main Street closed from 4-8 p.m. to allow for more space and safer pedestrian flow.

Township Meeting: Lake Dredging Status. At last night’s Township Committee meeting, we provided an update on the Lake Dredging Project.  The fish were safely relocated to Mill Pond last week, and this week the DEP-approved lake lowering will be completed.  Dredging activities will begin next week. Residents may notice an unpleasant odor as dead algae and other decaying matter are exposed. The rain garden (bio-retention basin) is adjacent to the construction site and will be restored to its pre-construction condition after the project is completed. Please respect the construction zone and construction vehicles and have patience for any disruption or inconvenience from this every-fifty-year dredging project. Updated FAQs can be found here.

Volunteer for a Township Committee or Board!  We often have openings on our various boards and commissions during the year, and each January the new year appointments are made by the Mayor and the full Township Committee. Please check out the list of boards and committees and fill out this form if you’d like to express interest. These go on file with the Township Clerk and form the basis for consideration once a position needs to be filled.

Bike Safety. Bicyclists of all ages are reminded to ride on the road --- not the sidewalk --- and to ride in the direction of traffic and always wear a helmet. Surprisingly, bike-vehicles accidents are more likely when riders ride on sidewalks. Check out this quick guide to bicycle road rules.

October 31 – Halloween!  As mentioned above, Chief of Police Michael Owens has worked to get a central section of Main Street closed from 4-8 p.m. on Sunday, October 31. The First Aid Squad and Fire Company will once again help to make it a safe and fun event. If you live on Main Street and would like to opt-out, the township front desk has signs you can put on your door.

November 2 – General Election. The default for this election is in-person. You can request a vote-by-mail ballot by October 26, and the Cranbury Police Station will again be a secure drop box location. Early in-person voting is available October 23-31 at ten Middlesex County locations (Monroe Library is the closest to Cranbury), and then in-person voting on November 2 will be at Town Hall. Details at: http://middlesexcountynj.gov/vote

Regards,

Michael Ferrante, Mayor 
Cranbury Township Committee
